THEY ALL GAMBLE.
Even the Office BOY sp-cuIatcs In Wall
Street.
New York World.

New York World,
Mr.. Won Goldstein telegraphs his
broker: 'Sell ten thousand Northwest" 4"
The broker says To himself: "Ah! the old
fox is going to get out" He tosses the
order to the bookkeeper and riIshes down
to the exchange.
The boOkkeeper before entering il,
takes $40 bill from the till, debts him
self with it on the books, and, calling n
messenger boy, says To him: run To
Handouts * Darby with this note and
money. F1y!' The boy flies out of the
office and around the corner, and reads
the note: ''Sell for me twenty shares
Northwestern at 1885," Instead of going
to the bucket shop in New street the boy
runs up Broadway to Wall, down Wall
and Exchange place, and finally TO the
destined shop. But in the meantime he
has met half a dozen or more of ''pals"
and has said to them: Say, Gully, look
at this. Here's point for yer. Got any
money? Lemme have it," From one
and the other he gets 25c.. or = or some
thing until he probably succeeds in rails
ing the necessary $5-the 10 vest sum
you can play i'm a bucket shop. Then he
goes, before delivering his message, to
another bucket shop and cries out to the
clerk, Say, I'll sell you five n. w. at
The clerk takes his order audthe money,
says: Where did you get that, sonnv?'
Sonny reaches out for the quarter and
replies in breathless haste, "Old Gold
stein ordered our boss to sell out this
morning"
Meanwhile the bookkeeper has handed
the order to the telegraph, and he APP
pears to be engaged for several minutes
in calling up the operator who has 10

tleman representing the firm on the
stock exchange. In reality he is talking
to some of his chums ON this point" and
asking them to "go it" for him. Later
on the other clerks get hold of the in
formation, pool is made, and one slips
out to a restaurant near by which has
telephone and orders Northwest to be
sold to the extent of his fellow workers

number of loungers i'm the room of the
office, some of whom are i'm the habit of
tipping" the clerks. One of them says:
Hello, Godfrey, any newsy'' And the
clerk answers: Sell Northwest. Big
thing" Two or three of the brokers'
customers then take walk, and il hap
pens be in the direction of the bucket
shop. In this way the spirit of gamb-
ling may be said to prevail throughout
the purlieus of Wall street.

of making a test case on the pool selling
law. a detective to-day bought ticket
on Young Duke, one of the Jerome Park
entries, from a clerk of Holmes & Co.,
pool sellers on Park Row and book
makers at Jerome Park. The money
was taken after the detective had signed
a blank in which it was stated that
Holmes & Co. We're to act as his agents
in placing a bet on the race track during
the progress of the races, and that the
fifty cents they charged him was in pay
ment of their trouble in taking money
there. The clerk was arrested and an
examination will be held tomorrow.

Buffalo Courier Washington Letter
Some new spaper writer recently has

calculation is made, TO show how much
of his salary he can save. believe the
conclusion is that Mr.. Cleveland will re-
tire from the White House S25, 200 the
richer for each year he STAYS in ii. or
that, assuming he has two terms. he will
have saved up $1,000 by 1893. Such
reasoning is fallacious. The wants and
necessities of Presidents vary as widely
as those of other people. As well at
tempt TO say what il costs Senator or
Representative To live when YOU know
what his salary is, what the size of his
family and the amount he paws for
mousse rent. There Is Senator Leland
Stanford, for instance. His family con-
slsts OF two persons, and his salary from
the Government is 5000 wear. IL
would be easy TO assume that he saves

Home life Is ON the increase among

many of our statesman that they bring

DUBLIN, June AT the regular fort
nightly meeting of the National Leag lie
held here to-day, a consesus of the opin-
ion of those present was that the course
of Michael Davitt in advising tenants to
resist eviction by every means i'm their
power, was not wise. Timothy Harring-
ton, Secretary of the League, announced
that the organizing council would implore
tenants not to allow any thing to drive
them to violence, which would be to play
into the enemy's hands. Harrington, in
his address to the League, quoted fully
the closing words of speech made by
Mr.. Parnell on the night that the Irish
Crimes Amendment Act was introduced
